League III 2025 Group B Round 35 Recap

League III – Group B Round 35 Recap

Only three rounds remain in League III Group B, and the table is on fire as teams scramble for the final points that will determine promotion, playoff seeding, and cup qualification. Here's how things stand after Round 35:

---

🏆 Promotion Race

1️⃣ C.D. Santa Clara (POR) – 63 pts

Santa Clara remain at the top despite a recent drop in form (L W L W W). With just a 1-point lead, they still have work to do to secure the League II promotion spot. Their defensive record remains strong, but they’ll need to stay sharp to finish the job.

2️⃣ FC Helsingør (DNK) – 62 pts

Just one point behind, Helsingør are applying massive pressure on Santa Clara. Their current form (W W L W D) suggests they are still very much in the fight for automatic promotion.

⚔️ Playoff Contenders (2nd–9th)

Positions 2–9 earn a place in the playoff bracket for the second promotion spot. As of Round 35, these are the teams inside the zone:

2. FC Helsingør – 62

3. RC Celta de Vigo – 61

4. Rayo Vallecano – 61

5. Villarreal CF – 60

6. Canadiano – 60

7. FC Gloria Buzău – 59

8. Royal Charleroi – 51

🤝 Friendly Cup Position

10️⃣ FC Porto (POR) – 48 pts

Porto currently hold the final Friendly Cup qualification spot, but with Hvidovre and Charleroi above them and Rezeknes and Unirea nearby, the battle for 9th–11th could still go either way.

---

👑 King’s Cup Qualification (11th–12th)

11. Rēzeknes FA/BJSS (LVA) – 47 pts

12. AFC Unirea Slobozia (ROU) – 44 pts

Both currently stand in the King’s Cup zone, but FC Dinamo București and SK Super Nova are still within striking distance with three games left.

📉 Bottom of the Table – No Relegation

There is no relegation in League III, so even struggling clubs like AC Horsens, Royal Antwerp, and Violette Athletic Club remain safe. However, pride and future momentum are still on the line.
